Pearly Penile Papules Overview
At the Wimpole Aesthetics, Dr Joshua Berkowitz offers painless Pearly Penile Papule Treatment to remove any papules for good. An electro-surgical instrument or a CO2 laser is used along with local anaesthetic.
The electro-surgical instrument that Dr Berkowitz uses is called a hyfrecator; although we also offer treatment with a CO2 laser, it is more expensive and less effective than the hyfrecator so most patients opt for this treatment. This method is safe, efficacious and accurate. After the procedure the healing is quick and all is back to normal about a week later.
Pearly penile papules are normal anatomic structures of the penis. They occur in about 20% of the male population. They are small papules, about 1-2 mm in size, closely spaced circumferentially around the corona of the penis. The papules are usually skin coloured and domed and give the corona a cobblestone pattern. Large pearly papules may be mistaken for condylomata acuminata (warts) or molluscum contagious.
There is sometimes confusion between Fordyce spots and Pearly Penile Papules, or vice versa. Fordyce spots are found on the shaft of the penis rather than around the corona of the penis. Fordyce spots are quite natural and should not effect the function of the penis at all. Whilst Fordyce spots treatments are not essential, Fordyce spots may be aesthetically displeasing and a potential drain on self confidence. Dr Josh is available to offer Fordyce Spot removal treatment if needed; he will assess the exact nature of individual cases, the best route for treatment and then removal of the Fordyce Spot.
Like Fordyce spots, Pearly Penile Papules in themselves are innocent and without any symptoms, but they often arouse some anxiety. Reassurance from a medical practitioner may be all that is needed but most patients would prefer to remove the papules if possible.

How are Pearly Penile Papules removed?
At the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre, Dr Joshua Berkowitz is able to painlessly remove the papules under local anaesthetic. He uses an electro-surgical instrument known as a hyfrecator. They can also be removed using a CO2 laser, but it is more expensive and not always as effective so patients usually opt for the hyfrecator treatment.
Is Pearly Penile Papules Removal safe?
This method is safe, efficacious and accurate. Dr Berkowitz believes that his method of removing pearly penile papules is better than using cryo-cautery or a CO2 laser.
Is there any downtime after Pearly Penile Papules Removal?
After the Pearly penile papule treatment procedure, the healing process is very quick and all is back to normal about a week later. You are advised to abstain from sex or masturbation for about ten days to ensure the skin on the penis recovers completely, but other normal activities can be resumed immediately.
How much does Pearly Penile Papules Removal Treatment cost?
Dr Joshua Berkowitz charges £895 for the consultation and procedure performed on the same day. This is a package cost. Should patients wish to only book a consultation, there is a fee of £250. If at a later date they choose to proceed with the treatment on a separate date, the treatment fee is £895.
“Thank you to all the staff at Wimpole Aesthetic Centre for their help, in particular Dr Berkowitz. Silly as it may sound, I feel like a new man following my pearly penile papules removal treatment. I wish I had done it years ago!”
Stephen, Brighton: Pearly Penile Papules Removal Patient
“I had suffered from Pearly Penile Papules for most of my adult life and had been embarrassed about them since they first appeared. I decided to look into the removal of the papules a couple of years ago but could not find anywhere specialising in this problem. When a friend recently informed me about Dr Berkowitz and the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre, I immediately booked an appointment. I had my consultation and treatment on the same day and the results have been perfect!”
Derek, London: Pearly Penile Papules Patient
“I had penile papules for years and it had become a real problem for me – more psychologically than anything else. I found it difficult to have self-confidence with new sexual partners and the more time went on, the worse I felt about the whole situation. Eventually, I decided to do something about it, and after months of personal research on the internet I found Dr Joshua Berkowitz at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London. Following an initial telephone conversation, I visited the clinic for a pearly penile papule consultation and a few weeks later I underwent the procedure. It was a total success and within around 9 to 10 days of the procedure, any mild soreness had gone. I’m the happiest I’ve been for years since the removal of the penile papules and I would recommend it to any other man suffering or worrying about this problem. Finally, I feel that I can go back to having a normal sex life without being ashamed of my body.”

What our patients say
I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.
Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.
I have nothing but praise for the team at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London. I had been very nervous about having my Smart Lipo treatment last year, however, Dr Berkowitz was highly professional at all times and provided me with great advice and treatment. I was delighted with the results that were achieved during the procedure and it has left me feeling so much more confident about my body. I would certainly recommend the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre to anybody considering this procedure or a similar aesthetic treatment.
I had read about Thermage Skin Rejuvenation in a beauty magazine and decided to do some additional research on the internet. I found the website for Wimpole Aesthetics and contacted them discreetly via their online forms. Within a matter of minutes, I had a response from the receptionist at the clinic and she explained a little more about the procedure. I decided to book a private consultation to see Doctor Berkowitz and a few weeks later I had my skin tightening treatment. It was a great success and I’m so much happier with the general appearance and feel of my skin. The wrinkling around my eyes and on my neck is much improved and, as clichéd as it sounds, I feel years younger.
After years of worry about my “saddlebags”, I found Dr Berkowitz at Wimpole Aesthetics. He was extremely professional, but at the same time extremely friendly and answered all of my questions about the Vaser Lipo procedure. It has been 6 weeks since the procedure and I am so happy with how my body is looking. I also cannot forget to mention his wife Carol and nurses Jackie and Christina – they are brilliant!
I read about the new Vaser Lipo treatment in a men’s magazine and was instantly interested. As Dr Berkowitz was one of the only specialists in the country providing the treatment, it was a natural progression to visit him for a consultation at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre. I found his advice and knowledge first-class and his staff made me feel very at ease. As such, I went ahead with the treatment and, in the end, a combination of the Vaser Lipo and Smart Lipo techniques were used to treat me. There has been no looking back since and my dream of having a six-pack has finally come true!
I recently had Vaser Lipo on several areas of my body… my stomach, arms and chin. I found the entire process painfree and I am thoroughly enjoying the remarkable improvements to my body shape.
I found that no matter how often I trained or how strictly I dieted, I could not shift the layer of fat around the bottom of my stomach – therefore leaving me with a bulge which I found most unattractive. Not keen on liposuction, I had spent a lot of time researching alternative methods of getting rid of my unwanted fat, and by chance, I stumbled across Vaser Lipo. I booked in for a free consultation with Dr Berkowitz at the Wimpole Aesthetic Centre in London and after a friendly and honest assessment, I went ahead with the treatment. I saw instant results, however, the real changes occurred in the 4 – 12 weeks following the procedure. A huge thanks to all of the staff at the clinic for enabling me to achieve the look and body that I have always wanted!
